OLAB 098: The Power Of A Bigger Story

Nehemiah was convinced that the generations of God-followers around him needed to experience something that would move their faith beyond its present condition. Think about what happened. Everyone in the community experienced the wall at some level as the text implies that assignments were made to families and tribes.
